For non payment or delayed
payment of service tax, as per section 76, a mandatory penalty not less than Rs.200/- per day during which such failure continues or @2% of such tax per month, whichever is higher, shall be imposed by the adjudicating authority.
SCN is issued in the interest of natural justice to enable such person to understand the charges and defend his case before the adjudicating officer.
If the service provider proves that,in reply to the SCN, there was sufficient cause for such failure penalty will be waived u/s 80 of the Finance Act,1994.
